This is a short movie that I put together starting from when we first brought our white Shih Tzu puppy home. All my dogs are female and you get to watch how my older dogs react to the puppy at first. She's bullied by them at first. The puppy is a really fast learner and learns how to climb stairs within a couple weeks! Even though she's small, she's really feisty and tries to stand up for herself while the other dogs beat her up, pick on her, knock her down, and even steal her dog toys. Please watch PART 2: Sundae the Shih Tzu Puppy Documentary to see what happens next!!!
Shih Tzus are extremely popular dogs, and it's not hard to see why: They're small and beautiful, with a fierceness that belies their diminutive size. One of the most striking things about these dogs is their magnificent coats. They have a thick, flowing double coat that can be styled infinitely—and it comes in almost every color you can imagine. Their coats can come in one, two, or even three different colors, and they also come in a variety of patterns. While we don't have the space to list every single color combination you'll find on these adorable little pups, we've taken a closer look at the more obvious options. Most Common Shih Tzu Colors: Black Shih Tzu: Any solid color Shih Tzu is rare, but black is the most common solid color option. However, they are usually mostly black dogs with small patches of color elsewhere. White Shih Tzu: Finding an all-white Shih Tzu is even rarer than a black one, but they do exist. Often, other colors come in, and white is a common hue in multi-colored dogs. The nose will still be black and stick out like a small piece of coal on a snowman Blue Shih Tzu: Blue Shih Tzus often appear gray or charcoal, but they emit a bright blue glow when seen in the right light. The blue color is actually just a diluted black and occurs when the offspring has something known as a dilution gene. Red Shih Tzu: While technically considered red, these Shih Tzus actually appear orange in most lights. You'd be forgiven if you confused them with a small pumpkin. Red is more common in Shih Tzu puppies than in full-grown adults, as dogs often grow red as they mature. Bi-Colored Shih Tzu: Bi-colored Shih Tzus have two main shades, but one of them will usually be white. Black is the most common counterpart to white fur, but you'll also find any of the above colors (including brindle) mixed together.
Cooper loves playing with his Pokemon toys! In this video he "catches" Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander by name (well, he taps Charmander). Bonus appearance by a Mudkip! These toys are all from eBay, and this is a relatively easy trick; if your dog can retrieve one toy by name, you'd probably be able to teach them Pokemon names as well (if you wanted to, that is!). Which Pokemon do you think Cooper likes the best?

Do Dogs Dream Too? Psychologist Dr. from Harvard Medical School. Deirdre Barrett explained that dogs dream like humans and that they most likely see their owners in their dreams too. Psychologist Dr., who studies sleep behaviors at Harvard Medical School. According to Deirdre Barrett, dogs dream like humans and they most likely see their owners in their dreams. The sleep pattern in dogs is similar to that of humans, and this is attributed to the existence of different stages of sleep in both humans and dogs. Dogs, like humans, go through deep sleep and REM sleep phases. REM sleep is the sleep phase in which brain functions are more active than other sleep stages. During the deep sleep phase, the brain is much less active. Most mammals are also known to have this sleep cycle. However, the durations of the phases in the cycles vary. For example, small animals such as mice have shorter sleep cycles than humans, while elephants have longer sleep cycles. Most dreams occur during the REM sleep phase. Dogs also see their dreams at this stage. The situation is different in reptiles and fish. Since they do not have deep sleep and REM sleep cycles, they are most likely not dreaming. According to research, people often dream about things they are interested in during the day. Dr. Barrett states that this also applies to dogs. According to Barrett, since dogs are extremely attached to their owners, they are also likely to have dreams related to their faces and smells.
Happy birthday sweet boy.
Maltese dogs may require special care due to their coat texture and skin sensitivities. Here are special care methods for Maltese dogs: Coat Care: Maltese dogs have a long, silky coat. Therefore, regular combing and brushing is necessary. Daily combing prevents hair from knotting and shedding. Weekly bathing can be done to clean the feathers and maintain their shine. Eye Care: Maltese dogs' eyes are sensitive and eye spots may occur. It is important to trim the hair around the eyes and clean the eyes regularly. Additionally, special cleaners recommended by your veterinarian can be used to prevent eye spots. Skin Care: Maltese dogs may have skin sensitivity compared to some other breeds. Depending on the veterinary advice you have received, special shampoos can be used to maintain skin moisture. Additionally, if there are skin problems or allergies, special treatments recommended by your veterinarian should be applied. Dental Care: Dental health is important for every dog, but small breeds' teeth are more sensitive. Maltese dogs' teeth need to be brushed regularly and teeth cleaning should be encouraged with chewable toys. Nutrition: Maltese dogs are generally among the smaller breeds and therefore their nutritional needs may also differ from other dogs. It is important to choose a high-quality dog food and create a feeding program appropriate for the dog's age, weight and activity level. Exercise: Maltese dogs are energetic and play-loving. Regular daily exercise helps maintain the dog's physical and mental health. Long walks, play with toys, and mental exercises (for example, toy search games) can meet the needs of the Maltese dog. Veterinary Checks: Regular veterinary check-ups are important to monitor the overall health of your Maltese dog. A vet visit should be made at least once a year to ensure their vaccinations are up to date and that any health problems are detected and treated early. Like any dog, Maltese dogs require love, attention and regular grooming. By applying the above care methods, you can ensure that your Maltese dog remains healthy, happy and well-groomed.
Dogs are generally very prone to learning games, and brain teasers such as hide and seek may also interest them. Here are the steps to teach your dog to play hide and seek: Basic Obedience Training: First of all, it is important that your dog receives basic obedience training. Teaching basic commands such as sit, stay, come will help your dog focus better on you. Identify Hiding Places: Identify hiding places so your dog can find you. These places should be places that your dog can easily reach, but that will not force him. Teach the "Hide" Command: Use the "hide" command to get your dog's attention and move to a hiding spot. Let your dog follow you and reward him when he sees you. Teach the "I Found" Command: Come out of your hiding place and indicate that you found your dog with a command such as "I found it." When your dog reaches you, reward him and play with a favorite toy or snack. Increase the Difficulty Level Step by Step: In the beginning, choose hiding places that your dog can easily find. Over time, make your hiding places more difficult and make your dog track your scent to find you. Be Patient and Keep It Fun: Be patient and encourage your dog as he learns to play hide and seek. Make the game a fun and rewarding experience so your dog continues to love it. A game of hide and seek is a great way to bond with your dog and increase his mental alertness. But every dog is different, so proceed in a way that suits your dog's personality and learning pace.
